Sierra Club General Meeting: Austin Wildlife Rescue

Join us at our monthly General Meeting for socializing, networking, and engagement on environmental topics of local interest.

Our August gathering features Jules Maron of Austin Wildlife Rescue. Arrive as early as 6pm at El Mercado (1302 S 1st St) to purchase food and drink. Club updates and program starts promptly at 7pm.

Jules will explain what her organization does and how it cares for 10,000 wild animals received annually. She will also discuss the impacts of habitat fragmentation on wildlife and how the public can help mitigate it in their own backyards.

Jules Maron is the Executive Director of Austin Wildlife Rescue. Prior to this, she worked for 15 years in corporate finance with IBM. She found herself involved in the wildlife rehabilitation realm quite by accident, where she started off as a volunteer, working her way up through every position, and is now the Executive Director. She has dedicated herself to Austin Wildlife Rescue for 9 years, holds a personal Texas Parks and Wildlife permit for rehabilitation, and is a Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator.

She received her B.S. in Child Development and her M.S. in Accounting at UT Austin, and is certified in Pain and Wound Management and as a Wildlife Rehabilitator by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC).

Can't make this event but still keenly interested in the topic? No worries... look for a recording of the presentation posted to the Austin Group's YouTube channel within about one week.
